6:09 AM - A New Take of 1984 Classic Film "Footlooseâ??

Footloose is the remark of 1984 version, the same dance movie, but you can see the difference between 1984 and 2011 in lots of aspects. Kenny Wormald is a member of Justin Timberlake's dancing team, and he can play the protagonist due to Justin's recommend some way.

The famous central hook of Footloose - that small town Bomont (Utah then, Georgia now) has outlawed dancing - sounds hokey, and, frankly, it is. The movie even comes up with a vaguely realistic version of a dance ban - five local teenagers died in a car accident after an alcohol-fueled dance party, leading to a legal crackdown on unauthorized teenage gatherings - before tacking on a formal anti-dancing law, too, perhaps out of deference to the original film. Despite the inherent silliness, though, this opposition is more or less the same encountered in any teenage dance movie, almost all of which feature at least a few adults adamantly opposed to the controversial idea of teenagers engaged in wanton acts of choreography and skill; Footloose just puts it on the books and makes it official.

The dance ban is challenged by Ren (Kenny Wormald), a Boston kid and former gymnast who moves to Bomont to live with his aunt and uncle after his mom passes away. Much like in the original, hs first friend is a wiseass meta-redneck, Willard (Miles Teller); soon enough, he has his eye on Ariel (Julianne Hough), the daughter of the very same Reverend Moore (Dennis Quaid) who lost his son in the car accident and spearheaded the anti-dancing movement. The kids bond and sneak a few dances away from watchful adult eyes.

Yet this is a pretty good remake of Footloose: good-hearted, sincere, enjoyable, not too stupid. If it's not Brewer's most indelible portrait of the South, maybe it's not such a bad way to bring him back into the studio-filmmaking fold. He has an eye for detail and atmosphere not fully utilized by an eighties remake, even one that's better than necessary; if he serves his remake time, maybe he'll eventually get to do a real musical. If you want to watch this movie in your mobile device with your friends, you can convert it to your devices with video converter.

Since 2006 "High School Musical" has been released for the first time, the series became Disney's representatives, especially for those boys and girls, which also make the other film companies very envied, Last fall, Paramount announced to remake a classic musical movie of 80's, which is "Footloose" and invited Kenny Ortega (who directs "High School Musical") to direct it and Zac Efron to play the protagonist, but Zac doesn't want to be stereotyped, so he refused, fortunately, Chace Crawford, who is one of the famous star in drama in "Gossip Girl" agreed to join the film, then the preparatory work could be carried out smoothly, but no one see Chace Crawford in the film, so I guess something has happened, and Craig Brewer refused to directed the film twice.

I gotta say this film has been through a tough time. Although it has not very high investment, still sharing it with others on our iPad is a pretty good choice, and you can do that with mac video converter, actually, compared to other stereotyped dance movies, I think this one conveys some new and deep thoughts to us, not just superficial love and winning, losing or something.

4:18 AM - Justin Timberlake in New Sci-fi Film In Time

Have you imagined that human beings will stay young forever in the future? Of course, this couldn't happen in the reality, but in the movie, everything is possible, sci-fi film "In time" presents us a future that everyone will not grow up until they reach 25-years-old.



In a future where time is literally money and aging stops at 25, the only way to stay alive is to earn, steal, or inherit more time. You can hand over your time with a sort of secret handshake, which is a little too easy and feels like a cheat. Nearly every twist and turn of the plot seems designed to remind of that most fundamental truth - every moment alive puts you one step closer to death. In this new age it's called "timing out," a very neat and tidy process - too neat and tidy. So the tension started by all that ticking too quickly drains away.

Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) lives minute-to-minute, until a windfall of time gives him access to the world of the wealthy, where he teams up with a beautiful young heiress Sylvia Weis(Amanda Seyfried)to destroy the corrupt system. But Will Salas is falsely accused of murder, he must figure out a way to bring down a system where time is money - literally - enabling the wealthy to live forever while the poor, like Will, have to beg, borrow, and steal enough minutes to make it through another day, seems like this time Timberlake has different performance, compared his other movie "Friends with Benefits", in "In Time", he is more like a hero, you know, kick bad guys, save the world or something, if you would like to watch it on your portable devices, you can do that with video converter reviews, it's more convenient if you want to share this film with other people.

Cillian Murphy plays a "time charger", in short, a law-executor in that community. He and Penny Collins works together to hunt down Will. And the 31-year-old Vincent Kartheiser who is famous for "Mad Men" plays Amanda Seyfried's father, but you are supposed to know that the father he plays is only 24, well, no one will be older than 25 if they have money to buy time. The age gap between the father and daughter is not great, and Vincent is a baby face, so perhaps directors chose these actors aims to let us feel time confusion. Johnny Galecki(The Big Bang Theory)plays Will's best friend. And there are a bunch of young actors including Alex Pettyfer and Matt Bomer.



"In Time" was supposed to turn Timberlake into a superhero, though given the way he manages a fairly massive pop career with an increasingly impressive acting portfolio ("Social Network" most recently), that may not be necessary. He brings an interesting sensibility to his characters, Will included, that suggest a complex interior that "In Time" never quite reveals. The same goes for Seyfried ("Mamma Mia!" "Red Riding Hood"), who can do a lot more than use those big eyes and sleek lines.

Maybe you think the plot is too boring, but think about it, we don't have many chances that can enjoy so many young actors' performance at same time, after all, they are all 25 or more younger, so how about upload it to your iPad or other iDevices with mac video converter to watch it whenever you want.

4:24 AM - New Year's Eve A Romantic Film Filled with Pretty Stars

If you still remember 2010′s "Valentine's Day" and have interest in that kind of film, then you are lucky, this year its sequel "New Year's Eve" will have a date with you in New Year's Eve or earlier, just like its previous work, "New Year's Eve" still fills with a bunch of stars, Ashton Kutcher, Robert De Niro, Jessica Biel, Zac Efron, Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel etc. They will celebrates love, hope, forgiveness, second chances and fresh starts, in the intertwining stories told amidst the pulse and promise of New York City on the most dazzling night of the year.



After director Garry Marshall and writer Katherine Fugate's box-office success with Valentine's Day, a sequel of sorts was inevitable. Even the sequel has the same formula, packing as many celebrities as you can into multiple storylines and hope that all those pretty faces and gushy sentiments will distract you from realizing you're watching a same and no difference movie, but who can ignore a movie that has no many big shots aim to express love in New Year's Eve? So what you can do is not to judge, just to enjoy. By the way, if you want to enjoy this movie on your portable devices, the best video converter can do that for you.

As the new members in this movie, Jon Bon Jovi acted a rock star, it was a natural starring. At a party he met his ex-girlfriend (Halle Berry) who was dumped by him by accident. Seth Meyers played a failure father, in order to get $ 25,000 prize money, tried to convince his pregnant wife (Jessica Bell) to give birth to the first baby in New Year of whole United States, only to find that he faced the unexpected fierce competition from a number of families.

There's the mousy middle-aged woman (an unattractively photographed Michelle Pfeiffer) who impulsively quits her boring desk job. She's hellbent on fulfilling resolutions amassed over the years - like traveling around the world and seeing Bali - all in a day. She engages the services of a bike messenger (Zac Efron) who cuts corners but offers more excitement than she apparently has ever known. (He takes her to a spa named Bali and the world travel is done by hopping around a giant map in a museum.) Charmed yet?



Other vignettes are just as lame-brained. A slacker/New Year's Eve hater (Ashton Kutcher) and his perky neighbor (Glee's Lea Michele) get stuck in an elevator. Initially they can't stand each other, then after she sings a song in the confined space, sparks ignite.

Although the story line has not much freshness, watching this movie feels like attending a crowed Hollywood party filled with pretty people, so what will you lose? One hour and forty-five minutes? On the contrary, it's kind of entertainment to spend your spare time, just need a free mp4 converter, then you can enjoy it on your iPad anytime.

2:45 AM - Happy Feet 2 The Best Animated Film for Christmas

Among all kinds of movies that released before Christmas, "Happy Feet 2" is the best one that can let us experience the happy atmosphere of Christmas (I think). After the smash hit of "Happy Feet", the sequel "Happy Feet 2" returns with a high box office in its debut, just be inferior to "Twilight 4 (Part1)".



Mumble, The Master of Tap, has a problem because his tiny son, Erik, is choreo-phobic. Reluctant to dance, Erik runs away and encounters The Mighty Sven-a penguin who can fly! Mumble has no hope of competing with this charismatic new role model. But things get worse when the world is shaken by powerful forces. Erik learns of his father's "guts and grit" as Mumble brings together the penguin nations and all manner of fabulous creatures-from tiny Krill to giant Elephant Seals-to put things right. It proves that a lot of love, along with a little help from your friends, can go a long way. Ok, it has a deeper meaning, although as an animated film, we can't expect more, honestly, it's a good film though, you can convert the DVD version to AVI with dvd to avi converter freeware if you would like to watch the high definition DVD on your portable devices.

In a major subplot, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt voice two chatty krill. Their journey to move up the food chain provides a few funny moments and the most spectacular visuals, including krill swarms, a whale attack and jellyfish encounters. But their rather-nonsensical quest isn't well-integrated into the main story. There are several pop remixes, of course, and songstress Pink (as Erik's mom) shows off her vocal chops, even as she reveals a limited acting range.



The real-world Antarctica and Southern Ocean consists of a wide range of species, and in Happy Feet Two we get to see a bit more variation in these represented. As mentioned earlier, krill is more prominently featured, and so are the elephant seals. Several different penguin species can be seen as well - all well animated and lifelike. The Happy Feet Two movie opened up in US movie theaters on November 20th, 2011 and scored $21.2 million dollars in its opening weekend.

The sequel told how one little penguin rallies his colony trapped by shifting ice due to climate change. Someone says it looked like "just more of the same," instead of something compelling and new. However, if you have kids or you just like it yourself, it's not bad to pass your time with it, after all, it's a music movie, so it will be much fun to rip it to your iPad or iPod with dvd ripper for mac and watch it whenever you want.

Even though it has a great box office, for most of us, it is just a sequel that has no new themes and just wants to make us have a good mood in Thanksgiving or coming Christmas, well, it has achieved that goal, ignore those drawbacks given by critics, it is a good movie which filled with laugh and music.
